As part of Canadian Agricultural Safety Week, happening March 15–21, 2026, the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) is offering free access to its entire library of online farm safety courses for the full month of March.
The initiative makes it easier for small‑scale farmers, mixed‑use hobby farms, and family operations to access reputable safety training without cost barriers. Whether you run a small livestock barn, manage a market garden, or operate a compact machinery fleet, CASA’s courses cover foundational know‑how that keeps farms safe year‑round.
